Lot Essay
Introduced in 1998, IWC reference 3251 is a pilot’s watch that displays the Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). The difference between UTC and GMT is that UTC is a time standard as opposed to a time zone. It is the universal standard accepted by most airlines and air traffic control centers, making this a true Pilot’s watch.
